I'm very glad to hear that the pixels actually work and guess I'll
accept the loss to the AA filters since I think Moire is much worse.
I've never paid much attention to the E-M5 II's control layout so just
had a detailed look. Yes, better than the E-M5 I but I would not choose
it over the E-M1. I can only hope they don't mess it up with the E-M1
II since I would really like to have that HR mode even if it operates
slowly.
We had some discussion in the past about using the HR mode for
rephotography with a macro lens. I can see it working well there in a
controlled interior environment. The main question in my mind is
whether it actually produces more detail in landscape shots when faced
with even a slight wind. Even the rumored 1/60 sec shot sequence might
not be fast enough there. Observations?

Here, I must strongly disagree. Simple enough. Take a High Res shot and
a normal res shot one right after the other. Convert the HR shot, then
downsample to the same dimensions as the regular shot. Overlay 'em on
layers, so you can switch between them.
There is significantly more, cleaner/sharper, visible detail in the HR
shot. Clear proof that the lenses have been out resolving the 16 MP
sensors. I tested with the middle of the road 12-50, in normal and micro
modes.
Ctein, that great tester and numbers guy, is now shooting an E-M5 II
after some discussion and seeing my test shots. He claims Bayer Array
sensors are only about 50% efficient at rendering their raw resolution
as converted, RGB pixels. The nominal resolution is lost in the AA
filter and color interpolation process. So, our 16 MP sensor systems are
effectively about 8 MP.
The 5 II controls are significantly different than the 5 I, for the
better as far as I am concerned; much better on/off switch location,
more Fn buttons, more easily identified by touch, and the odd, but
useful, mode switch. Given Oly's history with µ4/3 models, every one, so
far, different in control layout than the last, I imagine there will be
changes.
